Lyrics

Do you think I'm better because I said I'm better?

Questioning if others perceive improvement based on a verbal claim.

Did you take my word? Don't you wish you could

Expressing a desire for others to trust the spoken words.

I don't wanna come back, I'm not ready yet

Rejecting the idea of returning, feeling unprepared.

You said 'take some time' but I'm still not fine

Acknowledging advice to take time, but still struggling.


You were slumped down, slipped to the ground

Describing a scene of emotional distress in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, on the dirty floor

Highlighting a moment of vulnerability on a dirty floor.

I watched you cry, I want to

Expressing a desire to empathize with tears but unable to.

Cry about it too but I can't

Feeling the emotional weight but struggling to cry.


Do you think I'm better because I said I'm better?

Reiterating the question about perceived improvement.

Did you take my word? Don't you wish you could

Re-emphasizing the desire for belief in spoken words.

I don't wanna come back, I'm not ready yet

Rejection of immediate return due to emotional unreadiness.

You said 'take some time' but I'm still not fine

Continued struggle despite advice to take time.


You went up to Bellingham, you

Referencing a trip to Bellingham, involving another person.

Told me she was important to

Acknowledging the importance of someone else to the listener.

You, but I stayed, oh but I stayed

Choosing to stay despite awareness of personal inadequacy.

I couldn't be what you needed

Acknowledging the inability to meet the needs of the other person.

I couldn't be what you needed

Repeating the acknowledgment of personal shortcomings.


I'm not better, I don't know whether

Rejecting the notion of improvement, uncertain about reasons.

It's the cold weather, maybe I'm just missing her

Suggesting a potential connection between emotions and weather.

I'm not bitter, I don't think I want

Denying bitterness, expressing uncertainty about desires.

Anyone to blame

Refusing to assign blame for the situation.

Maybe that's why I'm so tired

Speculating that the emotional burden might be causing fatigue.

I'm so fucking tired

Expressing profound tiredness.
